1. Do Your Homework – Use the culinary guide from tasteofnovascotia.com and novascotia.com as resources. Plan ahead to find out what’s on your route and make sure it will be open when you’re passing through.

2. Be Spontaneous – Have a plan but be willing to take the road less travelled. Some of the best culinary finds are the ones you discover by chance.

3. Fresh Finds – Did you know that Nova Scotia is home to the greatest number of Farmers’ Markets per capita in Canada? With more than 40 markets throughout the province, you are never far from farm-fresh food.

4. Hop on a Trail – Both the Chowder Trail and Good Cheer Trail are tailor-made for the culinary adventurer. Pick up a passport for both trails and start planning!

5. Plan for a Picnic – Nova Scotia is full of great seaside picnic locations. Keep a picnic kit and cooler in your trunk to prepare for a spontaneous picnic on the beach.

6. U-Pick, You Enjoy – Enjoy the fruits of your labour by visiting one of the many u-pick farms throughout the province. Don’t forget to bring your appetite.

7. Festivals & Events – In every region of the province there are exciting festivals and events throughout the year offering up a wide variety of local culinary experiences.

9. Take a Tour – Leave the route planning and driving to somebody else. Try taking a ride on the Magic Wine Bus, do a walking tour with Local Tasting Tours or choose from one of the many guided winery tours offered by Grape Escapes and Go North Tours.

10. Enjoy Responsibly – If you’re planning to do some sampling at our local wineries, breweries or distilleries, make sure that you have a designated driver.
